Home-Cooked Software and Barefoot Developers
A very thought-provoking presentation from Maggie on how software development might be democratised.

The slides from Hidde’s presentation at Paris Web—a great overview of using and misusing ARIA.
Another great talk from Simon that explains large language models in a hype-free way.
Clicking through these cold war slides gives an uncomfortable mixture of nostalgic appreciation for the retro aesthetic combined with serious heebie-jeebies for the content.
The slides appear to be 1970s/1980s informational or training images from the United States Air Force, NORAD, Navy, and beyond.
This is a really clear, practical, level-headed explanatory talk from Simon. You can read the transcript or watch the video.
Maggie Appleton:
An exploration of the problems and possible futures of flooding the web with generative AI content.
The slides from Tess’s presentation on the W3C’s ethical web principles—there’s a transcript too.
A terrfic presentation from Matt Jones (with the best talk title ever). Pace layers, seamful design, solarpunk, and more.
The slides from Aaron’s workshop at today’s PWA Summit. I really like the idea of checking navigator.connection.downlink
and navigator.connection.saveData
inside a service worker to serve different or fewer assets!
This is a great talk by Hidde, looking at the history and evolution of cascading style sheets. Right up my alley!
Here are the slides from my opening keynote at Beyond Tellarrand on Thursday. They don’t make much sense out of context.
The slides from Laura’s excellent talk at FF Conf on Friday.
A terrific—and fun!—talk from Zach about site deaths, owning your own content, and the indie web.
Oh, and he really did create MySpaceBook for the talk.
I saw Nicholas give this great talk at Paris Web on site deaths, the indie web, and publishing on your own site. That talk was in French, but these slides are (mostly) in English—I was able to follow along surprisingy easily!
The slides from Carolyn’s talk at Beyond Tellerrand. The presentation is ostensibly about writing documentation, but I think it’s packed with good advice for writing in general.
If this is a typical result, I think Khoi should do more last-minute talk prep.
Slides from Harry’s deep dive into rel
values: preconnect
, prefetch
, and preload
.
Steven Pemberton’s presentation on the printing press, the internet, Moore’s Law, and exponential growth.
Here are the slides for the opening keynote I delivered at the New Adventures conference in Nottingham on Thursday. They make no sense out of context like this. You kinda had to be there (or suggest to some other conference that I should deliver this talk again—hint, hint).
Andy’s slides:
We dive into why progressive enhancement is important and how we can leverage the power of Vanilla JavaScript, Web Components and modern CSS to deliver a hack-free, lightweight and progressive experience for our users.
